Terms of use
Last updated Sep 30, 2026These terms apply to htslookup.com, run by Northwoods Ventures LLC ("we"). By using the site you agree to them.
1. Information only
HTSLookup shows tariff codes, duty rates and related information taken from U.S. government sources, for general information. It is not legal, customs or tax advice, and using it doesn't create any professional relationship with us.
2. You're responsible for your entries
Under U.S. law the importer of record must use reasonable care to classify, value and declare imported goods. Classification, the duty you owe and any exemption or trade-agreement claim are your responsibility. Confirm them with a licensed customs broker, or ask CBP for a binding ruling, before you file.
3. Accuracy
We work to keep every rate correct and current, and we show the source and date of each one. But tariffs change quickly, official sources can disagree or be corrected, and a rate can apply differently to your goods. Estimates exclude antidumping and countervailing duties, fees such as the merchandise processing fee and harbor maintenance fee, quotas and any charge that depends on your particular shipment. The site is provided "as is", without warranties of any kind, including accuracy, completeness or fitness for a particular purpose.
4. Limit of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, we aren't liable for any loss arising from your use of the site or reliance on it, including duties, penalties, interest, lost profits or indirect or consequential damages. If we are found liable anyway, our total liability is limited to $100.
5. Broker referrals
We may earn a fee when you ask to be connected with a customs broker. Brokers are independent businesses; we don't control and aren't responsible for their services.
6. Using the site
You may use the site and share links to it freely. Please don't copy it in bulk, scrape it at a rate that burdens the site, or present our pages as your own. The tariff schedule itself is public U.S. government information; our selection, arrangement, plain-English names and writing are ours.
7. Links
Links to government and other sites are for convenience. We aren't responsible for their content.
8. Changes
We may update these terms. The date above shows the latest version, and continuing to use the site means you accept it.
9. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Connecticut, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute belongs in the state or federal courts located in Connecticut.
